What is a PEO?

A Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, is an effective approach to the management of certain human resources functions, which detract from the core business of our clients. By establishing a contractual relationship, National PEO allows for our clients to transfer the burden and thereby eliminate the time and cost of non-productive, but essential processes.

The PEO industry came into being in response to the human resources challenges posed by the changes in the work place environment. Initially, the arrangements of a PEO were known as Employee Leasing. Under the PEO contractual arrangement, clients transfer their payroll, benefits, Worker’s Comp and Human Resources responsibilities to the PEO for the benefit of both organizations due to increased efficiencies.
